The Edenicity guy is now more inline with the City Nerd and Strong Towns model. In 2020 he started out for building utopian eco-cities from scratch, autocratic design and implementation, and new technologies, move fast/break things. Now he's for applying permaculture design to existing cities, using proven designs and technologies that already exist (transit, trains, bikes) and working to build consensus among stakeholders.

Vertical farming doesn't have to require lots of plastic. Make them of wood and think inside the box.

@wasted Yes, I envisage using gabions for any vertical structure (beams & walls). If used underground, best surrounded by rubble for drainage. Once built, easy to reinforce with found fence, wire, etc. #steampunkgabions #urbanecology #postcollapsearchitecture #earthshelters #permaculture #resilientcommunities #sustainablecommunites #closingloops #urbanpermaculture
@wasted I've become obsessed with gabions made with found metals and concrete rubble as a significant post-collapse building framework for the future. They hold up hiways (commonly!) and large landscape elements... and a neighbor's earth shelter. Anyone can build them chunk by chunk. I am imagining... #steampunkgabions #urbanecology #postcollapsearchitecture #earthshelters #permaculture #resilientcommunities #sustainablecommunites #closingloops #urbanpermaculture
